yep its no longer available on the website. Not as rare as Lobelia though. There's one on ebay UK unpainted with ~4days to go on at £10.50 currently.

Out of interest did you pick it up 2nd hand or is there an online supplier that still has some?



i got it on a hobby shop with some blisters left. it is new :) i can post some pics later, now im working on my gimli for the january challenge 8)

They are no longer sold but they are nowhere near as rare as the one DMS has (even though the one DMS has is a sculpt by ukfreddybear made to look like the rare as hell two-handed axe wielding uruk, which he did a perfect job of). I imagine there are less than 10 at least of the actual miniature. One popped up on eBay a couple of years ago and sold in excess of £300. The only other place I've seen a picture of one is in The Two Towers Journeybook (in one of the battle scene pics).

So I have happened upon a huge selection of minis, most still in box. I am helping a store owner catalog them. So yeah I got first dibs. I will not tell you what I picked up but left over were; multiple kings of men, swan knight banner ft and mounted, multiple metal boromir, a metal balrog, the original Uruk command set with the boulders, the prowlers that are jumping, captured by gondor set, multiple gandalf the grey ft mounted. It was a crazy amount of stuff. I had to pull out handfuls of metal minis to get at the blisters.

Mahud King is still available on the GW, the Mahud Beastmaster (?) is unavailable and rare though. Metal Haradrim Raiders are also still available seperately in blisters, it's just the boxed set of 5 that was discontinued (unless I'm imagining things and this boxed set never existed).

Metal Haradri Raiders never had a box set, bit the individual blisters have been unavailable for over a year.

The Ruffians aren't rare but the invisible Frodo is, it was a limited edition model several years ago.
